Mining Activity,

The season of activity in mining
circles is just waking up. Every
day mining men and capitalists anx-
ious to invest in mining property
arrive in the city. Besides hardly
day passes that new strikes are not
reported i'm some of the numerous
camps in the neighborhood. EX-
perienced mining men are taking
moro stock in the northwest than
formerly. For several months past
people have had their confidence re-
stored in the extent and value of the
mineral deposits of this locality. At
one time the northwest was looked
upon with suspicion as regarded its
mineral deposits. Capital fought
shy of Investments and men Of eX-
perience i'm such fields as Montana,
Utah, Colorado and Nevada consid-
cred the reports of the existence of
gold, silver and other minerals as a
myth and only newspaper talk in
dulged in for the purpose of attract
ing immigration. That mistaken
idea exploded some time ago, and
old mining men commenced visiting
the country and no sooner did they
examine the properties than they
were ready to make investments.
This confidence was growing grad
ually when the Sullivan-Bunker
Hill sale was consummated and that
transfer created an excitement the
effects of. which are now being seen
and which will cause rush to this
point, the first influence of which is
now being felt. The Occur d. Alene
district, OF course, is securing the
bulk of attention, because develop
Inents are further advanced in that
locality and the true value Of many
of the claims is established beyond
question. Developments have proven
| that the entire Panhandle Is con-
tinuous body Of ore, and promising
mines are scattered all over the
country, new finds are being re-
ported daily and to-day the pros
poets of the famous Occur d. Alenes
are brighter than at any time since
attention was first attracted to the
country. The assurance of a smelter
and consequently the creation OF q
home market for ore has Infused
, 1887-05-12

new life In the COlville district and
every. claim owner who has a claim
that shows any sign of containing
mineral Is hard at work taking out
ore. This activity has had the ef-
feet OF bringing to light numerous
very promising claims, and further
development work will no doubt un-
cover mines as rich as the famous
Old Dominion. Much attention is
being attracted to the Salmon river
country: Prospecting in that camp
has really just com menced and from
the richness Of some IF the ore dis
covered there Is every reason to be-
lieve that there are surprises in
store for mining men in this new
district. I he Pom d. Oreille section
Is also coming into prominence, and
good reports may be expected from
that yet almost unknown country
before the summer Is over. The
present mining outlook is of the
most fiatterlng character and the
year 1887 will see a mining boom in
northern Idaho and eastern WASH
ington that will surpass anything
that has been known Tin the his
tory OF mining In the United States
for many years.

Worth Working For.

The REVIEW has frequently called
the attention OF the people of this
city to the advisability OF making
an effort to secure the trade Of the
Salmon river mines. This Is a
matter worth looking into and there
is lively competitor for the busi-
ness Of the camp in Ellensburgh.
The last number of the Localizer has
the following to say in regard to the
Salmon river district:
"The Salmon mines are fast COM
ing to the front as one OF the richest
in the northwest. Expert miners
pronounce them the most extensive
ana valuable Of all the discoveries
made In the past twenty years.
People are hurrying. there from
Nevada, Colorado, Montana. and
from almost all the other mining
districts In the northwest and Cali
will be at least 10000 people there
the ore taken from almost any Of
the lodes Is pronounced Of good
grade and ore that will pay to work.
The mineral belt extends up into
British Columbia, where the placers
have been worked for years;
the Similkameen, Rock creek and
other tributaries of the Columbia
have been worked ever since 1863
Ferguson and Miller used to supply
them with provisions of all kinds
and tools at that early date. The
mines are In British Columbia, but
no person thought Of prospecting for
quartz in those days, but quartz dis
Coveries have been made in the last
ten years, but being on the reserva-
ton has kept them from being de-
veloped, The prediction Is made
that the mines in the Salmon Coun-
try will prove the richest, when
worked Of any now In the United
States. These facts have been noised
abroad and an unprecedented rush Is
made to the Salmon mipes. They,
are going there from all quarters.
With such prospects ahead 1t Is time
for the people here to make an ener-
getic move to capture the trade that
quarter will develop. The trade will
be immense; there Is nothing to pre-
vent Ellensburgh, from its nearness
and superior roads, from sharing the
great bulk of the trade, and every
laudable effort should be made to Sc
cure 1t; the time to do 1t Is now at
hand"

Nelson Martin has at last COM
pleted all of his arrangements and
yesterday started out for his first
trip from Occur dAlene City to the
Mission. Mr.. Martin has had the
project that he is now operating in
contemplation for a long time. He
believed that swift passenger boats
between the two points named
carrying passengers into Wardner
in day, and making the round trip
in twelve hours, would meet the re-
quirements of travel and be profit
business. He secured two steamers,
the "Spokane" and "Idaho," and
after perfecting all necessary ar
"Spokane" will be used for the pur-
pose of carrying express matter and
freight, and the "Idaho" will carry
only passengers The boats leave
Occur dAlene City every morning
at o'clock and returning arrive at
Occur d'Alene from the Mission at
p. m. BY this means Wardner can be
reached early in the afternoon. This
line will be OF great convenience to
the travelling public and shippers.
A barge will be towed by the "Spo-
kane" so that large quantities of
freight can be carried at every trip.
Mr.. Martin won the confidence OF
the public by his promptness when
running stage line, and he will
secure large share of that trade
again over his new line.

New Mining Company,

Yesterday articles of incorpora-
tion OF the Yreka Consolidated Min
ing Company were filed in the office
of the county auditor. The incor-
porators are Mr.. w. A. Reiniger, of
Rathdrum, Idaho; Messrs. G. Palm
tag and Peter Deuber, of this city,
and these gentlemen together with
Messrs. II. w. Forrest and A. A.
Newbery, constitute the board of
trustees of the company. The capi'
tai stock of the company is fixed at
$500, 600. 90, represented by 10000
shares of the par value of $500 each.
The company has purchased six val
liable claims on Pine creek in the
south fork of the Coeur d. 'Alenes,
upon which considerable develop
ment work has been done with most
excellent results. Some of these
claims give the same indications and
groupings as distinguished the now
famous Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mines, on the surface, and are in the
same formation and believed to be
on the same general ledge. The
company propose to work and de-
velope the mines as rapidly as pOssi-
BILE. Mr.. Reiniger departed1 to- day
for the mines to arrange to put q
force OF men at work at once. The
well-known and responsible charac-
ter Of all of the gentlemen whose
names appear connected with this
enterprise gives it at once the char.
acter of judicious and successful
mining venture.
a Long Hun.
Officer Gillispie had a long and
lively run for party wanted by the
authorities yesterday morning. 1t
seems the man Galliger who is
charged with having stolen clothing
on the night of the Black Hawk
stable fire some two months ago,
was arrested a few days since, but
managed to escape in the Jail de-
livery Saturday. Instead of shaking
the town Galliger fingered around
and Sunday night led Officer Fisher
q lively race, but managed to escape.
Yesterday morning Officer Glllispie
spied Mr.. Galliger near the Jail,
Galliger also caught sight of the Off.
Ger and made break for the Co.
lumbia line. He had nearly q hun.
dred yards start of Gillispie, but the
officer Is somewhat of 8 sprint run

dian of the peace. He was locked
up and will probably be sent over tc

'the only people who can look upon
the weather with any degree of COM
placency.
A prisoner named Wright, who
was convicted of petty larceny, has
been sent to Cheney to serve out his
sentence.

The county is almost entirely out

no doubt will.
There is no let up on the building
mania. New buildings, both busi.
ness house and residences, are start
cd every day.
A blacksmith shop has been open
ed in the large new frame building
just completed on Main street near
abe corner OF Post.
The commissioners are still en-
gagged Looking over the sheriff7s and

Walla Walla has organized COM
pany for the purpose of erecting and

Of this city.
w. France has the material
on the ground for his pro-
posed new store building to be cop-
structed on the north side of the

next month.
Every'city and town in the terri
tory is subscribing fund for the re-
lief of the unfortunate NanaimO suf-
ferers Spokane Falls, that is never
backward in the appeals for charity,
should contribute something to this
worthy cause.
1t has been announced that the
grocery store formerly owned by Mr..
Bean would he conducted by Messrs.
Nerryman & Caples. 1t seems that
Mr.. Caples decided not to embark in
business here and Mr.. Merryman
took charge as sole proprietor. The
Jipublic will find Mr.. Merryman, as
his. name would indicate, very
genial gentleman. He was pleased
with Spokane Falls the first day he
set foot in the place, and his first i'm.

LOCAL JOTTINGS.


Prom Tuesdays daily.
People are catching on to the pro-
posed 4th Of July celebration.
The gentle spring shower came
just in last evening to save the
country. from a twenty-four hour
dry spell.
The run on linen clothing, palm
leaf fans and other summer goods
has not been 40 great as to make the
dealers look superlatively happy.
The prospects are fattering for the
construction Of q paper mill at this
point. Now a large woolen mill and
a few smelters would fix the city
just right.
1t is reported that rich gold bear
ing ledges have been discovered on
Kettle river. The rock Is saidtO be-
~ visible to the naked eye.
Weather sharps say there will be
a climatic change for the better
when the moon changes. Get out
your almanac and see how much
longer you will have to suffer.
A great deal Of attention Is now
being attracted to the surrounding
mines, and parties are leaving daily
for tho various districts. Occur
d'Alene holds its prestage above all
other points.
The merchants, business men, pro-
fessional men and capitalists OF the
city have been urged to organize a
board of trade by both the press and
individuals. Just now Is the time
when an organization Of that kind
could accomplish much good of a
permanent character. Let a board
be organized ut once.
The Indians who came out second
best in the tussle with Bill Jackson
last week have sworn out a warrant
for Jackson's arrest on charge of
attempt to kill. They give another
version of the picnic, in which Jack
son figures as the aggre5sor. The
true In wardness of the case will
probably he ventilated in the police
court In due time.
The two Indians that Bill jackson
so Systematically bruised up last
week are already able to be around.
From the nature of their hurts there
was a pleasant expectation existing
that they were elected to the happy
hunting grounds by a big majority,
but later returns counted them out.
They look as though they had passed
through cider mill, but it is very,
very hard TO kill an Indian and these
fellows are yet good for a number of
drunken round ups.
The fellow who was arrested Sat
urday for selling liquor to Indians
was sent to Cheney yesterday bound
over to the next session of the grand
jury. He was seen in the act of
passing bottle to an Indian and
Chief Warren was at once informed
of the transaction. The officer found
the white man and Indian together
and upon searching the latter found
q bottle of alcohol on his person. The
proof is so clear that it should be suf-
ficient to convict.

A Ruav Cat Doctor.

There is O cat doctor who runs drug
store in Washington who, it is said, is do
ing the most thriving practice OF any allie
viatOr of the ills of the feline and canine
races of any man in his profession in the
whole country. This physician has the
highest class of callers of any professional
man in the city, as only the most ar1sto-
Cratic can afford to have an expert wait
upon their pets. At times as many as
three or four carriages, owned by the most
refined and wealthy people at the national
capital are drawn up in front of the drug
store and Office, and his business Is SO
large that customers with their patients
have to wait their turns, like men in bar
Der shops. 1t is seldom that man enters
the drug store or Office for the purpose OF
receiving professional call from the doc
tor. They are almost invariably women.
The doctor was philosophizing the other
day to some gentlemen on the general ais
of cats and dogs, during which he stated
that more trouble came from lack OF
fresh air and exercise than anything else.
He especially deprecated the fact that
these household pets were guarded so
closely in the house, and were not allowed
to romp around like children.
81 could name" he said, families in
this city that guard as closely their pet
cats and dogs as they do their children.
